Bounce Christmas Charity Appeal - StreetSoccer Scotland - £500 Raised

The Bounce are pleased to announce that they are backing Street Soccer Scotland's annual Christmas Day football match and meal for local homeless and disadvantaged people. It is taking place at the Meadows on Christmas Day and will be followed by a Christmas lunch in a local community centre. In the spirit of our football club, who similarly played their first game on the Meadows and came into being to provide a focus and support for young men facing the challenges of the Irish diaspora in 1875, the Bounce would like to lend its support to the work being done by this organisation.

Could you help donate your time to supporting the session on Christmas Day? Or would you be able to forego a couple of pints at your works Christmas night out and donate it to our fundraising for this cause?

Alternatively, admins are happy to negotiate donations being handed to them at the next home game. If this is the means you would prefer please advise and we will get something sorted out. More information about the event can be found on the Cowshed under "Volunteering on Christmas Day".

Annual christmas day homeless football event

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DAY HOMELESS FOOTBALL EVENT

Street Soccer Scotland are currently planning their annual Christmas Day homeless football event in partnership with Crisis which will be held at the Meadows in Edinburgh, you can see a short video about a previous Xmas Day event at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfAN6we_rrY
Many of the adult players do not have suitable footwear for playing or warm / waterproof clothing so Street Soccer are appealling for any old or unwanted boots or trainers, waterproofs, coats, hats etc. which you may be able to access which could be distributed to players on Christmas Day and over the festive season. Donations can be handed in to the Hibernian Learning Centre which is based in the south stand of the Easter Road stadium, during normal office hours (9am-5pm).
Street Soccer Scotland is a charity which provides a range of free community football programmes and services to socially disadvantaged young people and adults across Edinburgh and the other main Scottish cities. Their core work is with adults who may be affected by homelessness, poverty, isolation, addiction, mental health issues etc. They use football as a tool for engagement to build the self-esteem, confidence and personal development of participants with up to 200 participants attending sessions in Edinburgh each week.

great to see Hibs supporting the Xmas event, I was up at ER this morning picking up donated kit from the club.

Wendy the director of Hibs Community Foundation will be volunteering with us on the day and has kindly offered free tickets for the Raith game on January 2nd for us to distribute on Xmas day and our other free community football sessions over Christmas.

thanks a lot to the admins, St Pats branch and everyone who has donated
